Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses) Opoponax is a
resin from the Myrrh family native to eastern Africa and the Middle East.
Opoponax, along with Myrrh, has been a component of incenses, perfumes,
insect repellents, and herbal remedies since biblical times. The Egyptians
also used myrrh to help preserve their mummies. May cause sensitization.
Opoponax is known as "scented myrrh". It's an excellent fixative for blends
or perfumes which use Neroli in the mix. Opoponax has muscle relaxing
properties. Due to its drying action is effective against excessive mucous
in the lungs. Recommended in cases of bronchitis, colds, sore throats, and
coughs.
